The news of the enemy attack immediately reached Shen Mu's ears as Bestur and these grassland bandits quickly returned to Dehrim. At this time, Shen Mu sat up from the bed with a look of astonishment on his face. He frowned and looked at a grassland bandit elite who was reporting to him in a deep voice at the door. He asked, "Have you discovered the presence of undead monsters, and a large number of undead monsters are attacking Dehrim?" "That's right, respected Lord Shen Mu. A large group of undead monsters are attacking Dehrim. According to the time, they are approaching Dehrim soon." The grassland bandit elite answered seriously. He was Bestur's most trusted subordinate, and the prairie horse under his crotch was also very fast, so he was able to quickly come to Dehrim to report to Shen Mu. "I really didn't expect that Dehrim would be attacked again." Shen Mu frowned slightly, but there was no fear on his face. He just lifted the blanket that was still covering him and sat up from the bed. He said to the grassland bandit elite in a deep voice: "I know, you go back to Bestur first, I will take care of it next." "Understood." The two grassland bandit elites answered again, and then without any hesitation, they turned around and left the second floor of the noble mansion with their spears. "Sir, we are ready for battle." And just at the door of Shen Mu's bedroom, the Holy Tree Knights and Swadian Knights gathered together. Their tones were firm and their faces were quite cold, but there was no fear at all, because they had nothing to be afraid of. It was just an ordinary invasion. Dehrim had experienced countless invasions before, and now he was still here safely, so they were not afraid at all. At the same time, in front of Shen Mu, it was impossible for them to show any fear at all. After all, they were the strongest soldiers under Shen Mu. They will not show the crying and fearful look of women. "Let everyone get ready." Shen Mu nodded, quickly put on his clothes, and also put on his chain mail and protective gear.
He walked quickly outside. Without any hesitation, he brought these Holy Tree Knights and Swadian Knights to the city wall. On the city wall, Fatis and Resarit had already gathered here, and had seen Shen Mu coming up with the Holy Tree Knight. They hurried over and bowed their heads and touched their chests to Shen Mu respectfully: "Respected Lord Shen Mu." "Yeah." Shen Mu nodded and looked outside at the same time: "How is the situation?" Although he was asking, he had already seen that at the edge of the Holy Light Torch Tower illuminated by the Holy White Council, patches of gray and black fog-like things were rolling in. It was like smoke, or rather a sandstorm that was rising up, actually withstood the shining white light and was approaching the wall of Dehrim at his feet. "Those should be undead monsters, and they have formed special death penalty rules that can actually resist the holy light of the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council." Fatis held his knight sword in his hand and explained in a deep voice: "This is what Bestur told me. After they first discovered those undead monsters, they also discovered that the holy light released by the Holy Light Torch Tower of the Holy White Council was actually resisted by the special means formed by those undead monsters." "Yes, it's the gray-black fog." Resarit interrupted at this time: "But it doesn't look like fog. Instead, it looks like some dust that has been blown up, forming haze through special means." "Is it smog?" Shen Mu stood on the city wall and slowly reached out his hand to the hilt of his sword, and clenched it, his face a little ugly: "I didn't expect that using smog could resist one of my powerful defenses." The reason why Shen Mu was quite confident about Dehrim before was because the holy light formed by the rules within Dehrim's range was a powerful blow and weakening to the undead rules and undead monsters. Before, no matter what kind of undead monster it was, as long as it entered the range where Dehrim was, it would naturally burn and be severely weakened. Weakened all attribute levels. Moreover, once exposed to the holy light, it will automatically generate light and heat, which is a powerful killing effect on those undead monsters that possess undead energy. This is also the reason why no undead monsters can survive within the range where Dehrim is. The Holy Light Torch Tower of the White Council is really useful. This is also a very deep impression that has left on Shen Mu's mind. But now this deep impression that had made him so deeply impressed was broken. The holy light that he had originally placed high hopes on was actually blocked by the haze formed by the undead monsters using special means. Moreover, the undead monsters in the haze were slowly approaching Dehrim, and they might come into contact with him at any time, leading to a more serious conflict. And the so-called more serious conflict is actually a siege that those undead monsters will definitely launch. "Everyone, get ready. Give orders to everyone to go up to the city wall." Shen Mu frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to signal the messengers around to pass on his order. After all, the next step is a defensive battle. Those undead monsters will definitely attack the city. If they don't make good arrangements, it will be a mistake for them.
"Understood." A Swadian light infantryman who was acting as a messenger immediately spoke in a deep voice, then turned around and walked in the surrounding direction, quickly conveying Shen Mu's order for everyone to go up to the city wall and prepare for defensive operations. In just a short moment, it didn't take long before the walls of Dehrim were filled with the mounted and slashed soldiers that Shen Mu currently had. Infantry of the Swadian series. The largest number of soldiers in Dehrim are from various arms of the Swadia Kingdom, and they are all the elite troops that Shen Mu has been collecting until now. "What a pity, the elite crossbowmen of the Rhodok Kingdom have all been sent to New Uxhall, and the elite archers of Vikia have all been sent to New Rivadin. If they could be there, the defensive strength would obviously be improved." Shen Mu felt a little regretful at this time. The soldiers he had sent out before, now divided, would actually weaken Dehrim. But it’s better this way. Shen Mu doesn’t believe that he can’t defend Dehrim with the Swadian soldiers he has now. As the order of the God Tree appeared, more and more Swadian soldiers began to arrive at their posts. Swadian heavy infantry, Swadian light infantry, Swadian militia and even many Swadian recruits had already arrived at the city walls and guard towers, including the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs, the Lake Rat Gang's own thugs, the Lake Rat Gang, newcomers and robbers had already arrived at the city walls. And in the castle area of Dehrim, more soldiers also poured onto the walls and towers of the castle area, and those holy tree rangers holding bows and arrows had also come to the towers of the castle area, acting as archers and watching the situation outside vigilantly. In just a short moment, the entire Dehrim went from its previous leisurely and peaceful state to a state of war. "Where is Bestur?" At this time Shen Mu suddenly discovered that the general from the Kugit grassland beside him did not appear, so he asked. "Bestur is outside now. He is commanding the Kugit grassland bandits to conduct reconnaissance outside." Resarit said at this time: "But he should be back soon. I see a lot of enemy haze around. They should be attacking the two city gates on the east and west sides. If he doesn't return, he will probably be surrounded by the enemy, or cut off outside the city wall. This is not a wise choice, so Bestur should be back soon." "Well, I'm glad he's okay." Lord Shen Mu nodded. He always cared about this general who commanded the light cavalry. Without saying much, just over the west gate, with a few shouts and the sound of the gate opening and closing, Best returned to Dehrim with more than 30 grassland bandits and grassland bandit elites he had previously detected. Without any hesitation, he went straight to the city wall where Shen Mu was at the east gate. "Lord Shen Mu." Best walked over quickly with a very serious expression. "What's the situation?" Shen Mu also asked immediately. After all, it was Bestur who first discovered that the undead monsters were attacking this side, and Best was also the only general who returned after the reconnaissance, so he knew all these things. Therefore, Shen Mu needs to ask Bestur directly, and then make corresponding arrangements based on Bestur's information. "It's quite troublesome. Those undead monsters are hiding in the haze. There is no way to see how many enemies are in it. But judging from the amount of haze, there are probably more than 100 undead monsters in each haze." Bestur said in a deep voice: "And the haze is getting more and more. If it forms a group, it will be more able to resist the holy light. I also found some skeleton archers in it. No, it should be said that skeleton archers account for the majority. I dare not get close, otherwise they will shoot arrows to threaten us." "Skeleton archers?" At this time, Shen Mu, Resarit and Fatis on the city wall all frowned. This was indeed something they had not expected. After all, the skeleton legions they had encountered before were all infantry units such as skeleton spearmen, skeleton sword and shield soldiers, and other skeleton warriors. Now, there are more skeleton archers in Bestul, and they occupy the majority, which is really unexpected for them. "Lord Shen Mu, I always feel that something is wrong with the attack of the undead monsters this time." Right next to him, Resarit suddenly frowned and spoke. After all, he was a general of the evil camp, and usually he liked to play some tricks or use some fraud or cunning tactics to attack the enemy. Therefore, Resarit was very sensitive to this special situation. He immediately thought that there might be some unknown conspiracy. "Indeed, this is possible, Lord Shen Mu, I also agree with Mr. Resarit's opinion." At this time, Fatis also spoke in a deep voice to agree with Resarit's statement. Although the justice camp and the evil camp are basically two camps that dislike each other, it doesn't matter if they cooperate together for a few short periods of time. Even if they are fighting side by side in a team, they will fight with all their heart and soul, but sometimes they will have quarrels or dislike each other's behavior, which will lead to their separation in the end. There is nothing to say, it’s a struggle for the core interests of my life, either you or me. Wanting to destroy someone's behavior just because you don't like it is infighting, but they all gathered around Shen Mu for various purposes, wanting to complete their own lives, fulfill their own life creeds, and lead themselves to a glorious position.
So they won't fight among themselves or internally, they just turn their heads and ignore it because they don't like it. At worst, we can just hold our noses and fight side by side. Just like now. Although Fatis was not used to the usual behavior and style of Resarit and Bestur, when it came to fighting, especially in such an urgent situation, he would not hold back and would listen carefully to the suggestions of Resarit or Bestur and make supplements or agree with them. Of course, for Resarit and Bestur, if they encounter the same situation, they will also make judgments based on their own considerations. all the same. "Lord Shen Mu, I feel that these skeleton archers are just like the skeleton archers we encountered in the subway tunnel of Sujia Village. They are very similar." At this time, Bestur suddenly spoke up. After all, he had conducted on-site reconnaissance, so he suddenly said: "Did we offend the skeleton archers in the subway tunnel at that time, and then these skeleton archers came to seek revenge on us? After all, according to what you, Lord Shen Mu, once told us about the subway tunnels. All the subway tunnels should be connected." Bestur's words now aroused Shen Mu's vigilance, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly. Looking at the haze outside approaching him, his face became a little ugly: "Come here to seek revenge on us? This is really a bit of a strange angle." He neither denied nor admitted. After all, no one has ever said that all undead monsters are just low-level undead monsters without any intelligence. The vampire mistress Elizabeth he met before was a real high-level undead monster with her own mind and intelligence, and she was able to negotiate. (End of this chapter)
